Hi, all of the features seem to work flawlessly for me. I just have a question, i'm having trouble with the messaging component.

This is my quickstart.py file which I've populated.
quickstart.zip

Can you see anything that would be hindering the messaging function?

Kind regards,

Jarbinski

So it will scroll through all the profiles and handles new matches and existing conversations. However, no action is taken, it doesn't actually send any messages. Any ideas?

The code on your side looks good, I'll take a look at the bot and see where it possibly goes wrong. :)

Hi @Jarbinski ,

It seems to work for me. So basically what I think might cause some confusion, is that first it will iterate through your new matches to store them locally as a list in a variable and then afterwards it will start iterating through them and sending them each a message. :)

I tried running the following code and that worked just fine for me, hope it helps.

session = Session()

session.login_using_facebook(email_facebook, password_facebook)

new_matches = session.get_new_matches(amount=5)

for match in (new_matches):
    session.send_message(match.get_chat_id(), "Hey :)")

So basically it will first open the 10 newest matches (without sending a message) to load them in, and then afterwards it will loop through them, opening each one again and sending them a message.

Hope this helps :)
Greetings,
Fred
